As you can see, our cabin number is officially on the property. The numbers are laser cut from 1/4" steel and I'm hoping they'll turn a neat rust brown before too long. The background is a piece of roof tin. Of all days, I didn't have the address up and here comes the FedEx man to deliver a package.
He bought this vessel sink and a faucet that we ordered online. These are for the guest bathroom. We're giving some thought to what it will sit on...maybe a column of stacked stone or a hollowed out log. We'll report back when it's installed. We had a vessel sink at our home in Raleigh and loved it. Nothing but the best for our welcome guests.
The cabin is beginning to make a dramatic change in appearance. The locust log posts to support the walkway and viewing porch are all installed. Some of the walkway rafters are in place as well.
The viewing porch is to the right in this photo. I took an old bucket and sat there, after the guys left, and just spent some time looking over the mountains. I'm sure glad we picked this place to live.
This photo is from the corner looking toward the viewing porch. You can see the bark better from this photo.
The photo to the right is an example of what cold temperatures can do to standing water. This column of ice was in a 55 gallon drum that I turned over and pulled the drum up and away. It was frigid this past Tuesday and Wednesday but you know what? It's part of winter and even though you might think we're a bit 'crazy' it is a beautiful season to enjoy... tell that to my toes!
One last note: if you're just joining us on the blog there are a bunch of posts since our start in August. You can visit any month by clicking on the column on the right of the blog.
More coming,
